Changing planes in Amsterdam

Flying to Prague by way of Amsterdam and I am wondering will I have to clear customs in Amsterdam then re-screen at security to go on to Prague? I only have 1.5 hours to do this, if I must will I have enough time?

Have often travelled via Amsterdam and have not had to clear customs. Watch your gate for any changes as I find they often change the gates at the last minute and have had some near misses for my next flight.

Hi,

I changed in Amsterdam just last month. Arrived on Northwest plane, got off and just entered the terminal, wandering around until my flight was posted. Lots of shops for anyone with a longer wait.

Each gate has its own mini-security, same 3-1-1 and no liquids rules. You cannot get to the gate without passing security and security opened about an hour or so before the flight time. Passing the security you stay at the gate in a glass walled area (felt a bit like a fish bowl).

Hopefully your change will go as smoothly as mine did.
